RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show

We are getting excited about the Dinghy Show. Come visit us at stand G38 where we will have a Gosling built Scorpion and a Rondar 505 on display.

505

The 505 is a truly international class raced in over twenty countries with annual national and world championships sailed at some of the world's finest locations.

Scorpion

Since its design and first launch in 1960, the Scorpion has adopted developments over the years to become the present modern competitive sailing dinghy. The hull, constructed in wood or foam-sandwich, is built to strict measurements with small tolerances. Cockpit layout and rig controls are left to personal choice.

The Scorpion is a responsive boat with a light hull that gives excellent acceleration. Upwind it points well and tacks easily, and off wind the spinnaker ensures a stunning performance.

  • Date: 1-2nd March 2014
  • Location: Alexandra Palace, London
